Interviews for Texas Tech or UTSW?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Still waiting on UTSW!! My application was submitted a long time ago it seems like. When was your application complete and when were you notified of interview?
 
i have an interview with texas tech on nov 9. i got an email on oct 8 if that helps. but i havent heard from any other school yet and its nerve racking
 
I was notified about the 3rd week in sept for utsw and I actually just got in!! Woohoooo!! This is my 2nd year applying so it is a huge relief! I submitted my application within the 1st week it opened so it was really early! I really hope you hear something soon!!
 
any advice on the interview now that you have gotten? do u remember any questions? or maybe what questions you asked them?
 
Do you mind posting your stats?

So...you waited a while before you heard about an interview then?

CONGRATS : )
 
Pretty much every interview that I have been on have asked the usual..."Why do you want to be a PT", "Tell me a little about yourself", "Give me an example of a time when you faced a conflict and how did you deal with it?" "Give me an example of a time you faced an ethical situation and how did you handle it?" "What is going on in the world of PT today", "What can you bring to the profession of PT". That is really all I can remember right now!! My advice is to just be yourself! It is hard not to be nervous but just take a deep breath, think about the questions and then answer! The interview will be over before you know it 🙂

Last 60 hrs. GPA: 3.87
GRE: 1020
Observation/Working hours in a PT setting: Over 1000

Let me know if you hear anything!!!! :0)
 
deepeetee, Are you from Texas?! What was the deciding factor for you in UTSW? How did you like the program and the area after your interview?
 
Hi! Yes I am! Born and raised 🙂 Honestly, I have worked with some PTs that are recent graduates from UTSW and they are INCREDIBLE physical therapists! I also like the campus and the staff that I had the opportunity to meet! I realllly like UTMB too though but I am still waiting to hear from them since my interview. What schools are you looking at?
 
Well I am from Tennessee originally, and went to Michigan State for undergrad. I would like to go somewhere new for PT school. I applied in state of course, but schools in Texas had cheap out of state tuition so I did UTSW, TWU, UTHSC Memphis, UT Chattanooga, Belmont, and I did a few others all over the place!

Not sure if you are still on this network at all or will get this reply. But I am currently an undergrad at Michigan State and am looking at Texas Tech program, and actually just got an interview for next week. I was curious about TTU's interview process if you had one and how it went! Thanks!

When did you submit your app for TTU?
 
I got an email from Texas Tech last week to Interview on Oct. 4th, are you going to that interview date or is there another one before that?
 
Awesome! If you don't mind, could you let us know how it goes and what it was like?
 
Sure thing! If there isn't something up by the end of next week, remind me and I'll definitely tell you all about it.
